'There are many stories, Sire, but nothing explains why some people take sick, why some get better and some go mad and die...'
Scotland, 1055, and the kingdom is on the verge of collapse. There is rebellion in the south, a mysterious illness sweeps the land and some say that dark, supernatural powers are responsible.
The young King Fleance and his wife Rachel await the birth of their first child, but the queen is very ill and rumours fly that the royal family is cursed. Fleance and Rachel must try to hold the realm together in the face of treachery and disease. Only a few loyal friends can be trusted - including the Thane of Lochaber and his wife Rosie, whose very presence stirs up painful memories for Fleance.
Trouble is brewing - and not all who participate in the struggle will survive.
Birthright is the heart-stopping conclusion to T. K. Roxborogh's epic A Crown of Blood and Honour Trilogy
"It is a fitting conclusion to an excellent series and should leave all who have followed this story through feeling very satisfied... This is a world class book that deserves wide readership, both by its intended YA audience and for any adult who likes a well written and moving historical novel."
